"Bruuuuce" is one of the biggest phonies around. Typical of all "liberals", smug, arrogant, condescending, preachy, self-righteous. Plus he's stupid and doesn't know it.
5,500 tickets sold out of 30,000 seats, not very good "Bruuuce".
You got that straight; in the "Hail Hail Rock and Roll" movie, Keith Richard came across as much more articulate than Springsteen so what does that tell you?
Yep. *Platinum* anger and *Sold-Out* rebelliousness can only be maintained for so long before *SOS* reality sets in.. looks like he's going to have to go for the *retired* man blues if he wants to sell tickets. Ever heard "Born in the USA" on accordion?
Agreed. He's in the same boat of hundreds of other lefty politico-celebs who are trying to punch far above their intellectual weight.
A couple of years ago my wife surprised me with some tickets to a Blue Man Group concert in Columbus at Polaris (now called Germain Amphitheater) The Concert was awesome!
First off it was a tour based on making fun of Modern Day Rock Stars (some of the stuff they did to ridicule "Rock Stars" was funny enough to make me gasp for breath from laughing so hard and I was joined by a majority of the concert goers in mirthful appreciation of their antics)
Second, they not only are very good musicians banging on PVC pipes and what not (their rendition of the Who's Babah O'Reilly is sensational) they have a host of damn fine musicians who back them up. I would pay just to see the rhythm section of that back up group. And of course the guest singers they have are exceptional (The lead singer for guest group Venus Hum in her electrified Rainbow dress singing the old Disco hit I feel Love is something everyone should experience live!)
But thirdly and most important the whole show cost 25 bucks a ticket for excellent seats and included parking. The place was sold out and rocking hard.
Maybe Bruce ought to get him some blue face paint and a couple truckloads of PVC pipe and maybe then he can revitalize his career!
